Stumbled across this Beautiful Python yesterday afternoon at Peterson Creek. He was loving the last sunshine for the day

One of the most iconic roller-coasters in De Efteling and the only one without any theming. Since the opening in 1981 just a roller coaster without a story behind it. In the second half of 2017 Python will be completely dismantled (except for the station and lift-hill) to be built up again. This -as we speak- 26-years old coaster is ready for the future after this renovation.
Python
Python is a double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster in the Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. When it started operation, it was the largest steel roller coaster on the European mainland.
With Python, Efteling started the implementation of a new strategy: development from a fairy-tale forest into an all-round amusement park. This change led to many problems with the local community. Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers. Because of the likely noise pollution, the highest court of public justice ordered the construction to be stopped. After some time, construction could recommence, but legal problems continued for several more years.
In 2005 the trains were replaced by Kumbak Coasters designed by Karel Willemen and in December 2011 with Vekoma MK1212 trains. In mid January 2012, the python was fitted with new carriages. These new cars have a new set of restraints which accommodate the needs of riders large and small. There is a flexible over the shoulder strap which is not unlike those on accelerator coasters such as Kingda ka but slightly thicker. Over these are metal bars for riders to hold on to and to give support to the under straps. Also, the cars have been fitted with wheels that allow a smoother ride.

Waiting in the queue corona style. Also in the station and trains everybody is seperated from eachother (groups will 3 can be considered as a group). Also boarding and getting off the train will be done sperately. Python
Efteling and the Corona Crisis
On March 11, 2020, the corona virus (COVID-19) was officially classified as a pandemic, a global epidemic. This led to the closure of Efteling from Saturday, March 14 to Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
Efteling appealed for government support through the Emergency Fund Bridging Employment scheme for 3,300 employees who are now at home, but who continue to be paid.
Based on a reservation system, the park was reopened with limited capacity from 20 May. The days before had already been tested with employees, residents of the reopened Bosrijk and subscription holders. The Efteling Hotel and holiday park Efteling Loonsche Land also opened again on that date.
The park has been modified in many ways; for example, plexiglass splash guards have been placed, the capacity of attractions is severely limited and shows such as Raveleijn are not running. In the Fairytale Forest a one-way route is indicated with signs and arrows on the pavement. [ Wikipedia ]
The reticulated python is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. It is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile, but is not the most heavily built.
Australian Reptile Park, Somersby, NSW, Australia
Python is the common name for a group of non-venomous constricting snakes, specifically the family Pythonidae. Other sources consider this group a subfamily of the Boas (Pythoninae). Pythons are more related to boas than to any other snake-family. There is also a genus within Pythonidae which carries the name Python (Daudin, 1803). Pythons are distinguishable from boas in that they have teeth on the premaxilla, a small bone at the very front and center of the upper jaw. Most boas produce live young, while pythons produce eggs. Some species of sand boas (Ericinae) are also called python.

The Python is undergoing a full renovation between January and March 2018. After about 36 years it was time to renovate this famous roller coaster. Perhaps one of the first roller coasters in Europe that was considered cultural heritage. The last ride was made on the 5th of January and the demolition started on Monday 8th January. After one week more than half of the tracks were dismantled.
The new Python (lets call it Python verson 2.0) is sheduled to re-open the last week of March or early April.

Certainly not a high quality image, but I was surprised to see this small, attractive, non-venomous snake in a glass case in the Queensland Museum, on a visit with my grandchildren, so I took an iPhoto shot. There were two of these live pythons in a display with arboreal insects.
These reptiles are native to parts of Papua Nuigini, Indonesia and Cape York Peninsula in far north Queensland. They have a very distinctive method of arranging themselves on a tree branch, they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle.
NEW Python's Rope Belts at Veneno

This 18-foot Burmese python was caught in Everglades Francis S. Taylor WMA by one of our Python Removal Contractors. During cooler months, people are more likely to see pythons during the day. Report sightings to the Exotic Species Hotline (888-IVE-GOT1), on www.IveGot1.org, or using the IveGot1 app.
